Restore full flow to stubborn drains, sewer and septic lines with professional hydro jetting services in Ottawa. Our licensed and insured plumbers use high-pressure water to clear grease, sediment and tree roots from the full width of the pipe, from kitchen lines to main sewer jetting.
Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure stream of water through your pipes at up to several thousand PSI, using a specialized nozzle that cuts forward through blockages while spraying backward to scour the pipe walls clean. Unlike a cable snake, which punches a single channel through a clog, jetting removes buildup from the entire diameter of the pipe in one pass.
Ottawa's mature tree cover and aging underground pipes make recurring blockages especially common. Roots seeking moisture can infiltrate joints over time, while older homes often accumulate grease and mineral buildup that narrows pipe diameter year after year. Hydro jetting clears grease, sludge, mineral scale, and root intrusion completely, addressing the cause of a blockage rather than just opening a path through it. Searching for hydro jetting near me? Our crews cover every Ottawa neighbourhood, from Westboro to Orléans.

These symptoms often mean grease, sediment, or roots have built up beyond what a standard snake can clear:
From a single grease-packed kitchen drain to the main sewer line under your yard or the septic line on a rural property. Looking for sewer jetting near me? Here's what our hydro jet drain cleaning covers.
Kitchen drain hydro jetting strips grease buildup and food sludge from the pipe walls, so the line stops clogging every few months.
Main line hydro jetting clears the sewer line from your house to the city connection. Cracked or collapsed pipe needs sewer line repair instead.
Hydro jetting for tree roots cuts fine roots out of older clay and cast iron lines. A camera check afterwards shows whether the joint needs repair.
On rural properties around Ottawa, such as Manotick, we jet the line from the house to the septic tank and the distribution lines to the leaching bed, clearing sludge, grease and roots before they cause a backup.
Floor drains and laundry lines packed with lint, soap scum and sediment, cleaned wall to wall instead of just punched through.
Restaurants, multi-unit buildings and offices across Ottawa. Scheduled jetting keeps grease lines flowing. See our commercial plumbing.
Before jetting, we often run a sewer camera inspection to confirm the blockage type and location — so pressure and technique are matched to your pipe's condition. Our hydro jetting equipment then directs a controlled, high-pressure water stream through the line, scouring the full interior wall rather than just punching a channel through the clog.
This full-diameter clean removes grease buildup, mineral scale, and root intrusion that traditional snaking leaves behind, which is why the results typically last far longer. If the inspection reveals a cracked, collapsed, or misaligned section, we'll walk you through your repair options before any further work begins.
For homes with recurring buildup, we can also recommend a jetting schedule that keeps the line clear year-round. For a sudden backup, we offer emergency hydro jetting across Ottawa, often the same day.

A cable snake breaks a hole through a clog, but buildup often remains on the pipe walls and regrows quickly. Hydro jetting scours the entire interior surface, so grease, sediment, and root fragments are fully removed rather than pushed aside.
It's also chemical-free and safe for septic systems. Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes? For most lines in good condition, yes. For older clay or cast iron, we check the pipe with a camera first, because a cracked or collapsed section needs repair, not pressure.
A yearly jetting service for homes with a history of grease or root issues can prevent problems before they start. Being mindful of what goes down kitchen and bathroom drains also extends the time between services.
If mature trees are near your sewer line, periodic camera checks can catch root regrowth early, before it leads to another backup.
The right equipment, a look inside the pipe and results that hold up long after the job is done.
"Our kitchen line kept backing up every few months no matter how many times we snaked it. Topline Drain & Plumbing Ottawa ran the jetter through and showed us the before-and-after on camera — night and day difference."
Owen
"Tree roots had gotten into our sewer line and we were dreading the cost of digging it up. They jetted the line clear and it's been flowing perfectly since. Explained everything before starting."

"Called about a slow basement drain and they recommended jetting instead of just snaking again. Glad we listened — it's been months now with zero issues."
Gabriel
"Grease buildup from years of cooking finally caught up with our pipes. The jetting service cleared it completely, not just a temporary fix."

A snake punches a hole through a single clog, which is often all a sink or toilet needs. Hydro jetting scours the full width of the pipe, so it's the better choice for grease, scale and roots that keep coming back. For a one-time clog, see our drain cleaning.
For pipes in good condition, yes. Many older Ottawa homes still have clay or cast iron sewer lines, so we check the line with a camera first. If a section is cracked or collapsed, jetting can make it worse, and we'll recommend a repair instead.
It depends on the length of the line, how easy it is to reach (an accessible cleanout makes a difference), what's in the pipe (grease or roots), whether a camera inspection is needed and whether it's an after-hours call. You get an upfront written quote before any work starts.
Most homes only need it when a problem comes up. If your line has a history of grease or root buildup, yearly maintenance jetting keeps it clear between visits. Restaurants and other commercial kitchens often need it more often.
Jetting cuts the roots out of the line, but they can grow back through the same cracked joint. A camera check after jetting shows where they got in. If the joint is broken, a sewer line repair is the lasting fix.
Yes. On rural properties around Ottawa, we jet the line from the house to the septic tank and the distribution lines to the leaching bed. Jetting cleans the pipes, not the tank itself, which still needs regular pumping. If the leaching bed is failing, jetting alone won't fix it, and we'll tell you after a camera check.
